    could I replace POST requests with GET everywhere

    No (and it would be a terrible idea to try).

    Things that a form can do with POST that you can’t do with GET include:

    • Sending lots of data
    • Sending files

    There are other things that would simply be stupid to do with GET.

    From http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#attr-fs-method :

    The method and formmethod content attributes are enumerated attributes
    with the following keywords and states:

    The keyword get, mapping to the state GET, indicating the HTTP GET
    method. The keyword post, mapping to the state POST, indicating the
    HTTP POST method. The invalid value default for these attributes is
    the GET state. (There is no missing value default.)
